Have you ever felt like you don't make enough money? Probably every day of your life. I know I have, and I know Mike has. No matter how much more money we seem to make its never enough. The store does better and better each year and we make a little more each year but if I asked him today if he thought he made enough money he would say no.
I asked Mike one day how much money he would want to have saved to feel comfortable and happy with what he makes, his answer "$100,000". We are very very very very very far away from that goal! So it looks like we have lots and lots and lots of years to try to build up to that point. And then what happens? When we have that much saved and we are making more will his idea of how much money we need saved to feel comfortable change? Probably.
It seems like nobody is ever happy with what they have, we always want more. We he told me this it kind of opened my eyes. I realized that we will never be happy if we are always hoping for more. So I have decided that I want to try and come to terms with how much we have and be thankful and happy that we have what we have and try not to hope for more. Obviously its not something I can do overnight, it will take some time but hopefully I can get our little family to think differently about that, its just gonna take some time.
So how much money do you need to get by? How much money would make you feel comfortable with what you have? Do you think it will ever be enough? Will you ever not want more?
